Dale Jr. Joins Hendrick Motorsports in 2008
ESPN.com is announcing that Dale Jr. will drive for Hendrick Motorsports next year, keeping him in a Chevy and moving to a dominate team. It is really scarry how good that team looks to be in the next few years. Hendrick, already at it’s four team max, will have to let someone go to add Dale Jr. to their stable. You know it won’t be Gordon, Johnson and now Dale, so it will have to be either Kyle Busch or Casey Mears. Mears has too much good publicity surrounding him and is just a really good guy. So having said that, RubbingsRacing.com is predicting (opinion only) that Kyle Busch will climb out of the number 5 for good.
Stay tuned as we learn more about this.

Kyle Busch is outta there. One, his contract is up in 2008 so he was probably thinking of better offers elsewhere because second, he falls third in the pecking order as it is now behind Gordon and Johnson. He has shown lately to be visibly frustrated with how he is perceived to be treated at Hendrick. Texas is the example here.
He sure isn’t going to sit around and drop to the fourth ranking team, despite what Hendrick says about there being no pecking order of teams. Besides, that gives Budweiser a great opportunity to reclaim the 25 when they used to sponsor that car for Hendricks in the 90’s.
My question is how are those Talladega fans going to decide who to throw the beer cans at now?
